Constance Markievicz: Before History Claimed Her

In 1899, Casimir Dunin Markievicz painted his new wife Constance in a monumental oil on canvas — 205cm tall, full-length, luminous in white. The woman in this portrait would go on to fight in the 1916 Rising, become the first woman elected to the British House of Commons, and serve as Minister for Labour in the first Dáil. The original hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland. Now you can bring her home.Tracked, securely packaged, delivered in 2–5 business days.
